I am a current high school parent and could not be happier with the opportunities for my daughter to grow in self confidence, curiosity, and respect for a diverse community/greater world. Teachers are caring, encouraging, and supportive. School leadership is present and invested in the community and in promoting the happiness and personal success of all SMirls. SMA is truly a learning environment representative of all forms of intelligence/passions--with classes and extracurricular activities for every girl to find their home and people. The school's traditions and fun activities form special bonds and friendships that are truly unique and memorable. Most importantly, SMA is an environment where girls learn to celebrate and recognize each other's achievements--and prepares them to be women who will make their communities and work places better.

The Emmett School board/District is effectively the efficacy of the schools ability to educate children because of their focus on saving money! They took away summer school in order to have an exclusive math club after school two times a week for about two months. Only children that were slightly under grade level were invited to attend.. I was able to request for one of my daughters to be able to attend the math club. However, when I inquired as to why she had not been invited from the beginning I was told that her math scores were lower than the other students who were invited and that usually children with scores that low, come with behavior problems and that was something they were trying to avoid having to deal with. I was told since my daughter sid not have any behavior problems she could attend. Is that discrimination??

Ridgely is a wonderful school to have in our community. The school is large, but the kids seem to adapt to the crowding. The administration spends a good amount of time preparing parents and students for the school year. The school seems capable of teaching to all levels of student from special services through GT. What really stands out is the community build around the school. There are over 30 clubs and teams associated w/ Ridgely, so really something for everyone. Glad to be sending my 2 daughters here.

I moved here from Gateway school district. Gateway was horrible....Plum district has been a godsend!

I moved away from Carmel about 8 months ago and realized how horrible this school genuinely was. I want to share my experience with this community so I can hopefully change peoples minds from moving their children to this school. Carmel High School is the fakest place I’ve ever seen. The administration cares about nothing but looking good and equality. First of all, stop it shouldn’t be a thing. Schools should not get involved with a child’s outside life. If it happens on school property that’s one thing, but outside of school decisions shouldn’t get you suspended at school. Second, I was threatened and harassed literally had to get ESCORTED out of my class so I wouldn’t get jumped by a group of girls when I did nothing to them. You know what this school did? Absolutely nothing! They suspended me for texting my friends about it because apparently that is “hurting their feelings”. What about my feelings??? Another good time is when someone who didn’t like me sent in a stop it on purpose to get me in trouble of me having a couple drinks on my birthday weekend, had nothing to do with SCHOOL and my parents had already found out about it. You know what they did because of that one person who purposefully tried to ruin my life? They sent CPS to my house, yes the SCHOOL because me and my friends drank on a weekend. My parents were traumatized and scared that I would get taken away but the best part is the officers came in for the house check and my parents liquor cabinet was locked shut and had been for years. That school was constant drama, crying, threats, hatred for the one year I went. Every week was something new and the school never cared to help me. Its both the administrators fault and the students there. It’s truly the most toxic environment and I don’t recommend ever taking your kid to this school. I have so many more stories from this school but I’m gonna keep it at that. Trust me this school is the definition of a hellhole.

There is a lack of respect within the students, parents, and the facility within the school. The facility doesn't take harassment/ bullying seriously among their students in the minority (LGBTQ+, POC) in tell the harassment becomes life threatening to the student affected or to the school district. Along with the lack of diversity within the school that students can experience, learn, and understand to respect that people have different identities than the majority. Because of this there is a definite reason that the school district is notorious of harassment towards those in minority groups, and it doesn't help that the parents of these students are the problem to not teach their children about respecting other students that also attend the school. As a school district it is crucial to teach students about diversity in order to prevent the frequent problems of harassment. As an alumni of this school district, I would not recommend your children to attend this school due to the disrespect that the school presents itself and has a reputation of. Hate to say this, but your kid will not be safe there. Especially how almost every single year the school gets a bomb/ school shooting threat where the police have to get involved.

Our child has been diagnosed with Autism by two separate Neurologists with supporting statements from his Pediatrician. Andre Elementary refused to recognize these reports and through their own testing determined that he is not on the Spectrum and will receive no services. Our student failed core classes starting in 3rd grade but was never invited to attend tutoring or summer school because he "did not qualify" for those services. During his 5th grade year our student was verbally and physically bullied by his teacher. He was also told by more than one teacher not to talk to parents about what goes on in the classroom. Several other parents have heard this "don't tell parents" from their students as well. Andre Elementary has denied knowing of these complaints and denied these issues are occurring in the school. Students feel scared to speak to teachers, staff, or parents for fear of retaliation. One teacher has called a student "snitch" throughout his 5th grade year because he told his parent what he heard and saw at school.

Bad school ruse mean to much homework

They fired someone because they are liked more than any other teacher and they don’t respect people and they make us feel like we are useless

Los maestros son muy buenos dan una buena enseñanza . A mi hijo en lo personal le encanta ir a la escuela

Staff/teachers kids shown favoritism. Teachers childrens’ Bad behavior swept under the rug by principal. Upon requesting meeting, Principal wrote, “our teachers and staff come first.” NOT welcoming to new students! Do NOT recommend.

This is the school that is the home of The 44 Engineering FIRST Robotics team! They were responsible for renaming part of the International Space Station after their school and building a robot for NASA and Nano Racks that cut metal in space for the OMD-1 and Artemis space missions. Their engineering programs include Architecture and Mechatronics (Robotics and Automation). Many of the engineering students I know go to either Texas A&M, Prairie View or Lone Star College and they finish with great jobs!

This is a school with Kindergarden and 1st graders. They sent out a letter to parents stating that they are going to be teaching about gender Pronouns. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS TO THIS SCHOOL UNLESS YOU WANT THEM INDOCRINATED WITH TERRIBLE WOKE IDEOLOGY!!! SHAME ON THIS SCHOOL!!!!

We have been impressed with Sage Ridge from the start. The safe and professional learning environment and culture of excellence, and focus on Sage Ridge’s 5 core value “Pillars” makes this a special place where kids love school, and love to learn.

We love PCA. Both mine go and have for 4 years.
